I thought that would have been smart too, but at the same time somebodies got to keep the fort running at the school and make sure Villeta doesn't try anything funny. Plus, who knows how Rolo might have reacted to the prospect of witnessing the reunion of Lelouch and his real sister.

We'll find out what Rolo thinks next episode, and maybe see what's inside the locket too.

[KrimzonStriker]

It's supposed to be a music box according to one magazine article I believe, wonder what kind of song it plays if that's true

[Dann of Thursday]

Does it matter?

I'm rather curious as to how long they plan on keeping Rolo as sort of a side agent in all this and not having the other members know about him. This probably depends on how long Lelouch stays in Japan as well I suppose.

If it comes out that Rolo is helping Lelouch, whoever gave him Geass won't be happy.

[Pink-chan]

Confrontation between Rolo and probably V.V. who gave him Geass is going to be ugly. Rolo is Lelouch's trump card. He is saving the best for the last in a way. It's definitely better for Lelouch to have a Geass user on his side as long as Lelouch finally see Rolo as a human not a rag.

[Dann of Thursday]

If they do plan on having Lelouch leave Japan though, where is he going to be? I wonder if that is an indication Lelouch will be going to school for a while longer.

Why wouldn't Rollo just come with him? I mean they've shown him flying with the Order forces, it can't be that much longer before he bites the final bullet and starts fighting Britannia with Lelouch.

[Dann of Thursday]

Hmm, I suppose you are right. Lelouch seemed to be making a point of making sure no one knew about Rolo, though it may have been because he wasn't sure how much he should trust him just yet.

Well, and the whole led to Urabe's death and killed a lot of other Order members thing.

Though I guess we'll see if Rollo and Kallen meet up this week; their interaction would probably make for a good start in Rollo getting along with the Order.

[Dann of Thursday]

Yeah, I think that Kallen and some of the others would take issue with that as well.

There hasn't been any indication they meet other than them being in the same place. He could just talk to Lelouch alone if he wants. Kallen might be a little surprised if he showed up enough. Unless he uses his Geass.

It is also stated that Rolo is a bit anti-social which is why he doesn't have many friends at school, it could also just be the "spy" part he's playing though and following the code of "Don't mix with the target" which he obviously failed
It's for the better though, I kinda like Rolo, but I like Mao much more

But concerning the whole Urabe's death thing, come on, It's the vincent mass production model, there could be thousands of them with the same paint, Kallen even said something about the flying Vincent Guilford was using since she recognized it.

[Dann of Thursday]

There is only one gold one since it was the original. Besides, Lelouch doesn't really need to be lying again.

All reforming assassins start out like that. It's an assassin fiction cliche.

For more information watch or go through. . . LEON (a.k.a The Professional), La Femme Nikita, and/or The Bourne movies.


Also, since Rollo failed in his mission they could send waves of assassins after him to finish the job. It could them culminate with the person who gave him his geass or trained him. Probably some real badass like Kariya in Samurai Champloo. A fight complete with wall running, phasing, combos, pistols, jumping, etc.

Original? the Original is the Lancelot where it was copied from
and there could be diffrent paint styles, we don't know that, we've only seen 2 so far and they have been diffrent : /

It would be a bit one sided fight when V.V is probably Immune to his Geass like C.C is with lelouch + the fact that if V.V can't die like C.C Rolo would not stand a chance

He doesn't have to kill him, just best him . . . like stop one his master plans or delay his efforts for like a year with a clever and possibly suicidal effort.

V.V. laughs at him after getting shanked with a katana.

V.V: "Stupid Rollo, you can't kill me."
Rollo: "I wasn't planning to." <coughs up blood while bleeding from multiple cuts, stabs, and bullet holes>
V.V: "What? NO way! YOU BASTARD."
Rollo: <smirks>"See you in hell."

KABOOM, Rollo throws them both into molten metal, building explodes, death star goes up in a million pieces, Rollo wins

------

If he doesn't fight V.V. . . just his top assasin he could kill him like Jin took out Kariya.

No, no, no Rolo's Vincent is the original prototype model for the entire Knightmare Frame line for the Vincent class, so while borrowing the Lancelot his Vincent is technically the first one to have been produced >_>

Yeah but It's still not original as in "Whole new model" since they ripped like 80% off the Lancelot
and that wasn't the exact point
It was more about the paint versions, Kallen was obviously shocked to see a Vincent flying there

He is not a walking cliche for the last time. Certain things may be there, but that doesn't automatically decide everything for him.

And we aren't going to see a bunch of Geass users coming to hunt him down. That would be rather silly and frankly bad writing.

But they just started making this thing, or else we wouldn't have seen a 'proto-type' in action though. So that means that at the moment it is probably the only one of it's class to have that paint-scheme, since Guilford's own Vincent seems to have only come about recently. And she wasn't shocked at the paint, she was shocked that their was another one, and the last time she fought one of that class she and Urabe had their butts handed to them, though that was more Rolo then the Vincent. And you know, because it's a proto-type, I bet they won't stick to the same paint color when they do really start mass-producing it...>_>
